Alumni

I joined Pi Kappa Phi in the fall of 1996. After graduating in 2000, I moved to Maryland as an engineer to work for Northrop Grumman developing defense systems for the military. I still work there, now as a manager. I married my college sweetheart, Chadren, and we have three children: Colin, Cailee, and Caleb. We stay very busy with sports (coaching and playing), cub scouts, girl scouts, and church activities. I am proud of my time at Bradley University as a Pi Kapp and proud of what my brothers are doing there now! Pledge Family: pledge dad was Ken Rosa #276 pledge kid ws Eric Ramsson #357

Joined the house in spring of 2001 with Brian Ford (#386). Lived in the house from Fall of 2001 thru graduation in spring of 2003. Served as Brother Act Chair in 2002. I live in a north suburb of Dallas, where I'm originally from, with my wife and 2 dogs working for a company that fulfills merchandising and audits for clients inside major retailers. (think, 'Office Space') Prior to that I worked for ESPN Dallas for 4 years as their Promotions and Marketing Manager. Spare time includes lots of patios, lots of baseball/basketball/hockey/golf, lots of pools - you know, because it's hot in Dallas.

Married, three children, 14, 13 and 1 year old. Working as a Manufacturing Engineer designing tooling and machinery. Spend time working on my Harley, being as Assistant Scout Master for my older kids and learning how to build CNC machines.

Currently I am an Underwriter for Auto-Owners Insurance in Peoria, IL. Working towards passing the Actuarial Exams and becoming an Actuary.

I joined Pi Kappa Phi in the Fall of 2007, my freshmen year, as part of the Beta Gamma pledge class, seeking good friends and good times, and that's exactly what I got! Also during my tenure as an active, I served as Webmaster for 3 semesters. Since graduating, I have moved back to St. Louis, and I am currently working full-time as a multimedia developer, and freelance for various web design, graphic design, photography, animation, and video editing projects. My goal is to build up a nice nest egg before seeking out my fortune elsewhere, away from my hometown of St. Louis. In my spare time, I can usually be found either playing video games, basketball, drawing, writing, honing my bass guitar skills, or just fooling around in Photoshop. However, there's always the occasional concert or bar crawl in St. Louis that I'll go to with friends.

I graduated in December of 2012 as part of the Beta Epsilon pledge class. I held numerous positions throughout my time as an active member, including Historian, Risk Management, Chaplain, and House Manager. Pi Kappa Phi has helped me grow as an individual, and given me the confidence and maturity that will help me succeed in my future endeavors. Currently, I am working as a Systems Support Specialist at APS, Inc., a company I interned with during the summer prior to my graduation. The company develops highly-customizable Human Resources Information System software designed to provide total workforce management, payroll, and tax compliance solutions to small and medium sized businesses. I will be continuing my education in the fall of 2013, when I being to pursue my MBA through the graduate school at Louisiana State University Shreveport. While much of my time will be devoted to my new career and attending graduate school in the coming years, when I do have some time to myself I enjoy Stephen King books, firing ranges, driving stickshift, and good whiskey.

While an active member in Pi Kappa Phi, I was on the Standards Board, and I was the External Philanthropy Chair, the Assistant Treasurer, and the Treasurer for two consecutive years. I currently work as a systems engineer at Caterpillar in Mossville, IL.
